We study the asymptotic growth of the diameter of a graph obtained by adding sparse "long" edges to a square box in $\Z^d$. We focus on the cases when an edge between $x$ and $y$ is added with probability decaying with the Euclidean…

Let $G_n$ be a random geometric graph with vertex set $[n]$ based on $n$ i.i.d.\ random vectors $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ drawn from an unknown density $f$ on $\R^d$. An edge $(i,j)$ is present when $\|X_i -X_j\| \le r_n$, for a given threshold…

Computing the diameter of a graph, i.e. the largest distance, is a fundamental problem that is central in fine-grained complexity. In undirected graphs, the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) yields a lower bound on the time vs.…

We consider the minimum-weight path between any pair of nodes of the n-vertex complete graph in which the weights of the edges are i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variables. We show that the longest of these minimum-weight paths has…

Let $V$ be a set of $n$ vertices, ${\cal M}$ a set of $m$ labels, and let $\mathbf{R}$ be an $m \times n$ matrix of independent Bernoulli random variables with success probability $p$. A random instance $G(V,E,\mathbf{R}^T\mathbf{R})$ of…

Spatial networks are networks where nodes are located in a space equipped with a metric. Typically, the space is two-dimensional and until recently and traditionally, the metric that was usually considered was the Euclidean distance. In…

Consider a weighted or unweighted k-nearest neighbor graph that has been built on n data points drawn randomly according to some density p on R^d. We study the convergence of the shortest path distance in such graphs as the sample size…

We consider two classes of random graphs: $(a)$ Poissonian random graphs in which the $n$ vertices in the graph have i.i.d.\ weights distributed as $X$, where $\mathbb{E}(X) = \mu$. Edges are added according to a product measure and the…

In this article, we study linearly edge-reinforced random walk on general multi-level ladders for large initial edge weights. For infinite ladders, we show that the process can be represented as a random walk in a random environment, given…

We study the problem of sketching an input graph, so that given the sketch, one can estimate the weight of any cut in the graph within factor $1+\epsilon$. We present lower and upper bounds on the size of a randomized sketch, focusing on…

In this paper we are concerned with various graph invariants (girth, diameter, expansion constants, eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tree number) and their analogs for weighted graphs -- weighing the graph changes a combinatorial problem to…

We propose a consistent approach to the statistics of the shortest paths in random graphs with a given degree distribution. This approach goes further than a usual tree ansatz and rigorously accounts for loops in a network. We calculate the…

It is well known that many random graphs with infinite variance degrees are ultrasmall. More precisely, for configuration models and preferential attachment models where the proportion of vertices of degree at least $k$ is approximately…
